"So big?" Gao Ling was shocked.

"Hmm."

As they spoke, the two landed.

Standing in the sky above Jeju Island, less than 20 meters above the ground, you can't see the edge of Jeju Island at all. As far as the eye can see, there are woods and some thatched huts.

Hey?

Is Jeju Island inhabited?

Yuan Xi felt a little surprised.

Jeju Island is isolated from overseas, and no people from the Central Plains have ever come here. Even Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, etc., didn't know about the existence of this island. Can anyone else know? And live here?

"If there are people on Jeju Island, they should be savages, right?" Gao Ling said.

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi also thought so in his heart.

Anyway, let's go down first.

The two of them rode the four disagreements and landed in front of a thatched hut.

There was a dog outside the house.

There was a tinkling sound from inside the house, as if iron was being struck.

"Is this a blacksmith shop?" Yuan Xi couldn't help but be suspicious. Perhaps the people of this island, if there is really a Central Plains, brought the technology of blacksmithing here and opened a blacksmith shop.

"Wouldn't you just go in and have a look?"

Gao Ling smiled and walked forward first.

"Wait, we're new here, so let's not be too careless. Beware of danger. "At such a time, as a man, how can you hide behind a woman's back. Yuan Xi protected Gao Ling behind him and prepared to go in first.

"Huh."

Gao Ling seemed to like this very much, and reached out to grab the corner of Yuan Xi's clothes.

"Anyone?" Yuan Xi stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who?" The sound of striking iron stopped.

The door was opened.

Out of it came a very strong man, shirtless and covered in sweat.

Sure enough, it's striking iron!

"We are passing by, begging for a drink." Yuan Xi said.

"You're not from here, are you?" The man saw it at a glance.

"Oh? How so? ”

The man said, "The clothes we wear here are very rough. You must have come from the original? ”

"A strong man has good eyesight. We are tourists and want to see the scenery of the island. The sea water is salty and cannot be drunk, I don't know you here? Yuan Xi glanced inside the house, and there were two other people inside. One is a little doll and the other is a woman, who should be the man's wife and son.

"Please come in."

After thinking about it, he still welcomed Yuan Xi and Gao Ling in.

"I haven't asked for advice yet, the strong man's surname is high?" After taking a few sips of water and finding a seat to sit down, Yuan Xi looked up and asked.

"Zhao Laosan. What is your name? He asked casually.

"Under Yuan Xi."

"Your surname is Yuan?!" Zhao Laosan was obviously surprised.

"Hmm."

It can be seen that he has some understanding of the affairs of the Central Plains. The Yuan family in Hebei is the largest family in the world, and in recent years, it is still the largest prince in the world. As long as you are from the middle place, you should have heard of it.

Yuan Xi observed his words and looks, and also confirmed the guess in his heart.

The man in front of him must be Jeju Island, who came later.

"You must be hungry, aren't you? Need a bite to eat? Zhao Laosan suddenly became polite.

"Okay." Gao Ling nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Laosan looked at his wife and children in the distance: "You guys go and prepare food." Take out all the wine I have stored and entertain your guests. There are also those who have ordered farm tools, and they will not sell them today. ”

"Yes."

His wife is a standard rural woman, who behaves in every word.

"Thank you, strong man." Yuan Xi asked, "I wonder how many people are on this island?" Do they all buy farming tools from you? The people of the island, also grow rice? ”

Zhao Laosan also came over and sat down: "At first, I was the only one who sold it, but now there are more people selling farm tools, as far as I know, there are five." And the people on the island should be thousands. They are scattered all over the place, forming some large and small tribes. ”

"Thousands?!"

Yuan Xi was shocked by this number.

He thought that Jeju Island was uninhabited, and even if there were, they would have fled from the Central Plains or lived in seclusion, and the number would not be large. Unexpectedly, there were thousands of people on the island, and tribes had also been formed.

In this way, the people of Jeju Island have been around for hundreds of years.

"Compared to the population of the Central Plains, this is too small. Childe is from the original school, are you still surprised? Zhao Laosan suddenly laughed.

"I was really surprised. However, I believe that the population of Jeju Island will increase in the future. When Yuan Xi said this, he didn't mean it. When he rules the area, he can move some people over and develop the wasteland everywhere, so that Jeju Island will also prosper.

Yuan Xi asked a lot more.

Zhao Laosan took the trouble to answer.

Jeju Island has no castles, no buildings, and no government offices. The people who live here exist in the form of tribes, and they decide to make a cottage and enclose the place where they live with wooden fences.

There are also territories among the tribes.

The large tribes occupy a radius of tens of miles, and the small tribes occupy a certain mountain, a certain river, and a certain forest. If another tribe invades, they will still take up arms to meet the enemy.

In general, the people here are not much different from those in the Central Plains.

War can break out at any time, anywhere.

Maybe it's for food?

Maybe it's to survive? Live a better life?

It's just that their strength is too weak to withstand the attack of foreign forces.

Just like Yuan Xi now, he wants to occupy here, which is a matter of one sentence.

Zhao Laosan's wife cooked the meal.

Yuan Xi and Gao Ling followed the customs, knelt on the mat, and ate a meal.

A plate of boiled lamb (sprinkled with coarse salt, presumably made with seawater), a plate of boiled fish, two plates of wild vegetables, and wine. The staple food is very coarse corn.

Zhao Laosan said proudly: "On this whole island, only here can I eat the rice eaten by the people of the Central Plains." If it were any other tribe, even a large tribe, there would be absolutely none. ”

"Looks like you're from it too?" When it came to this, Yuan Xi asked along the way.

"Well, it's been more than ten years. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I heard that there were islands overseas, so I brought my inner people by boat. I didn't expect to be found. So I settled here. Zhao Laosan said.

"So you brought all this corn from the Central Plains?" Gao Ling asked.

"Well, that's right."

Zhao Laosan said: "When I went to sea by boat, I planned to live in this place for a long time, how could there be no corn?" ”

Zhao Laosan's experience made Yuan Xi feel a little emotional.

When he first traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty, it was like going from the Central Plains to an isolated island and starting another life. If it weren't for the limitation of his identity, he would have become Yuan Shao's son, and maybe he would have been like Zhao Laosan, who had enough food and clothing and a leisurely life.

That's how perfect life is.

Finished eating.

Yuan Xi and Gao Ling said goodbye and prepared to go to other places on the island. Zhao Laosan also knew that Yuan Xi was a person who did great things, so he didn't keep it, but just gave some water and food, which can be regarded as a good fate.
